Inventor: SAUNDERS OLIVER W
IPC: H04B7/216
Filed: 1998-10-09
Abstract: A communications system (100) is disclosed for
processing at least one uplink channel contained in at
least one uplink beam (112) transmitted to a satellite
(106). The communications system (100) includes at least
one user terminal (110) that extracts a system clock, a
synchronization word, and timing correction information
from a downlink beam transmitted by a satellite. The user
terminal includes a timing controller (226) that aligns
uplink channel transmissions by generating a system clock
based on the downlink symbol clock, said synchronization
word, and said timing correction information. The user
terminal includes at least one spread-spectrum spreader
(254) for encoding at least one uplink channel, and a
transmitter connected to the spread-spectrum spreader (254)
for transmitting said at least one uplink channel in an
uplink beam (112). The system also includes a satellite
(106) which generates the synchronization word, downlink
symbol clock, and the timing correction information needed
by the user terminal. The satellite also includes a
wideband FFT processor (322) that extracts uplink channels
from the uplink beam (112) in bulk, and a despreader (326)
connected to the FFT processor (322) for simultaneously
despreading user signals contained in said uplink channels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to modified starches which are
prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of a starch molecule after the preparation of a
starch derivative containing a hydrophobic group or both a hydrophobic and a
hydrophilic group, particularly octenyl succinic anhydride starch hydrolyzed by β-amylase
or glucoamylase. Such modified starches are useful as encapsulating
agents, particularly in systems where high load and retention of the active ingredient,
low surface oil exposure, and excellent oxidation resistance is desired. The
encapsulating agents are useful in a variety of applications including a tablet in which
the starch allows for good compressibility and hardness.

Abstract: A depth control device 100 for an underwater cable 10 includes a rotary actuator
171 having a rotating output shaft connected to a swash plate 190. Rotation of the swash
plate 190 by the actuator 171 causes a rocker arm 220 to pivot about an axis transverse to
the axis of the output shaft. The rocker arm 220 is drivingly connected to a drive shaft 145
for rotating wings 140 about their pitch axes. The pitch axes of the wings 140 can be
perpendicular to and intersecting the axis of the actuator output shaft, enabling the depth
control device 100 to be extremely compact.

Title: Method for correcting synchronization error and radio system
Inventor: ROPPONEN ANTTI
IPC: H04L7/00
Filed: 1998-05-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a digital radio system and to a method for correcting a synchronization error in a digital radio system comprising at least one base station (100) communicating with terminals (102, 104) in its coverage area, and a mobile telephone exchange (108) communicating with the base station and controlling the operation of the base stations. The information to be transmitted is coded and decoded in a transcoder unit (200) into a form suitable for the transmission. The base station sends information frames to the transcoder at a certain pace, and, correspondingly, the transcoder sends information frames to the base station at a certain pace. To ensure easy transmission of information and to increase flexibility, the base station (100) indicates in an information frame sent to the transcoder (200) the synchronization error present in the information frames coming from the transcoder, and the transcoder corrects its synchronization after receiving said message.

Abstract: This invention relates to articles made of polyester, preferably polyethylene terephthalate (PET), having coated directly to at least one of the surfaces thereof one or more layers of thermoplastic material with good gas-barrier characteristics, and novel methods of making such articles. Preferably the barrier-coated articles take the form of preforms coated by at least one layer of barrier material and the containers blow-molded therefrom. Such barrier-coated containers are preferably of the type to hold beverages such as soft drinks, beer or juice. The preferred barrier materials have a lower permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide than PET as well as key physical properties similar to PET. The materials and methods provide that the barrier layers have good adherence to PET, even during and after the blow molding process to form containers from preforms. Preferred barrier coating materials include poly(hydroxyamino ethers). In one preferred method, preforms are injection molded then barrier-coated immediately thereafter.

Abstract: A disc drive mechanism has a transport mechanism for transporting a disc through a
slot in the front face (102) of the drive without requiring motors or any other powered
parts. Two pivoting arms (108, 110) have over-center springs (500). When a disc is
inserted, as soon as the disc displaces the arms past their respective neutral points, the arms
are driven away from the front of the drive by the over-center springs, carrying the disc
completely into the drive. The two arms swing completely out of the way and the disc is
dropped onto a motor spindle (106). The arms also have a cam surface (600) that raises or
lowers a magnetic clamping plate (410). For ejection of the disc, in one example
embodiment, an eject button (708) on the front face of the drive is linked to each over-center
spring, so that pressing the button places a force on the springs that causes the
springs to rotate the arms toward the front of the drive, causing the arms to rotate past the
neutral position. In an alternative embodiment of the eject mechanism, an eject button (710)
on the front face of the drive is linked directly to the arms, so that pressing the button
rotates the arms toward the front of the drive. The transport mechanism also includes front
guides (116, 118), between the arms and the front face of the drive. The front guides are
spring loaded for deflection, and they may deflect linearly or they may rotate.
